"Who is Winnipeg's backup? I'm not sure," said Rider receiver Andy Fantuz after Sunday's win over the B.C. Lions. "But I'm sure they have a good backup. Most teams do. They probably won't miss too much and they'll still be playing hard."

"I'm going to play. I'll find some way to play," he said. "Man, I am out there. I'm playing, somehow, some way."
